I have been running a small craft corporation for a couple of years now.
I make many handmade items that are one of a kind plus wanted to branch out into online sales. The large question was, “where do I begin?”. I started looking into other sales sites like Ebay plus Etsy, these would work, I thought, but, then my friend and I was paying fees plus splitting into my already small profits. Then, I looked into making a page on my social media location that would highlight my corporation plus show pictures of what I had available. The problem with that was that there was no way for a woman to pay me plus supply their shipping information. I had to call each woman plus get their payment information. Many people today are hesitant to supply debit card information on the phone plus I can’t say as I blame them, and after much trial plus error I decided to hire a university student to design plus upgrade my website on a yearly basis. They incorporated a PayPal affix so that my buyers could pay safely plus I would get the information instantly. This was a much more cost effective way to do things as big companies that supply these services can be genuinely overpriced. Additionally, since I have my own location I don’t get lost in the sea of other artisans like on those other sales sites. If someone comes to my site, they are only seeing my own designs, then even though I am paying a fee for the upkeep plus the initial location design was a bit overpriced, I feel that it was well worth every penny.
